he was wrong about the muslim brotherhood saying they were secular. and he didn't know about the london terrorist attack. this guy is mia. >> maybe his boss is not sending a clear signal. >> sean: that may be true too. thank you guys. our thoughts and prayers are with the people of japan. >> this is a fox news alerted. >> japanese officials are now very concerned at this hour about two of the country's nuclear power plants this. after friday's massive 8.9 earthquake. an official with the nuclear safety commission is now saying that a meltdown at a nuclear power plant affected by the earthquake is possible. he says that they're actually right now checking to see whether the meltdown has taken place at one of the fukushima power plants, which had lost
1:01 am
cooling ability after the earthquake n. all, five reactors have suffered cooling problems, basically the result of no water. the water that usually cools the nuclear material has evaporated and they are not able to get new water to it. so that's why there is this problem. authorities have detected 8 times the normal radiation levels outside one of the facilities, and nearly 14,000 people living near the plants have been evacuated. >> and just hours ago, japan was hit by a 6.8 quake, followed by several trem blores. that's something that people could be experiencing for quite a while. there is no word if there has been any additional damage or injuries at this point. the latest numbers that we have, as far as the death toll goes. i believe that is standing at 400 -- help me out here, rick. >> it's more than 400. about 800 people missing, over
1:02 am
1100 injured. and those numbers are very fluid. we should all expect those numbers to change, and unfortunately, they will most likely rise in the days and weeks ahead as japan begins the cleanup while still dealing with these aftershocks. we're also just getting word right now -- it's almost about 4:00 in the afternoon, 3:00 in the afternoon in japan right now. and the prime minister there has said that the country has launched a massive military-led rescue operation. and he says that there are 50,000 troops that have been sent in or will be sent in to help out, in the rescue and recovery efforts after the earthquake and the tsunami. 23-foot-high waves with that tsunami that washed far inland over fields, smashing towns and you can see, tossing ships around, almost like bathtub toys, as we take a look at the video that just as often as you may see it tnever ceases to
1:03 am
amaze, as we take a look at pictures from japan. >> one of the hardest-hit towns was send ai, they found between 200 and 300 besides in the debris. you can only imagine how many people have been involved. you had to wonder, as you watched the cars and homes that were washed away, you know, you have to imagine that there were people inside them. that's what they're telling us now. they are finding bodies among all of this debris. untold number of bodies believed to be lying in the rubble and debris. and rescue workers say they have yet to reach some of those lardest-hit areas. they can't seem to get in there. but they are doing everything they can. and the u.s. military is coming in to aid and now we are hearing that japan is sending in 50,000 troops of their own and the u.n. offering their help and resources as well.
1:04 am
they will need all the help they can get as this continues because there is a lot of people in need of rescue and a lot of people unaccounted for. and those numbers of dead and injured are going to rise. >> the latest now, at 10:00 p.m. west toast time in the u.s. is that there is a nuclear power plant that, quote, may be experiencing a meltdown, according to a japanese news agency, quoting officials on the ground there. another powerful aftershock, 6.8, hitting japan, right near the site of the first earthquake, the original one, just within the last couple of hours as the country launches a massive military-like operation, search-and-rescue and recovery operation underway in japan. stay with fox newschannel for the latest on the earthquake and tsunami. now, back to "on the record," which is already in progress. that's why i'm calling on skype. i cannot be in contact with
1:05 am
any of my friends in tokyo. i have been able to reach some on skype. >> greta: i talked to your family back home. >> yes. >> greta: have you ever been to this area where the tsunami has swallowed up these areas? >> no, i haven't been too far north of tokyo. i spent a lot of time in tokyo. i have a few friends who live in the tokyo area. they told me some of their family, their house is in the epicenter and they are having trouble contacting parents and friends. >> greta: josiah, thank you for join us. good luck, i hope these aftershocks and quakes are over for japan, thank you. >> thank you. >> greta: there are other americans in japan. our next guest was en route to the airport when the quake hit. she was on a moving train when
1:06 am
the quake broke the country into pieces. maya where are you and tell me what happened on that train when that quake struck and what you thought? >> i had finally gotten back to my apartment in downtown tokyo after almost 24 hours. it was a tough journey to get back here. yesterday when the quake hit, first i thought it was a train crash. it was a huge jolt in the train. we were on an elevated track. i looked out window and realized that everything outside was shaking too. everyone on the train started panicking. a lot of people who were on the train were people who were visiting since it was an airport train. they had never experienced an earthquake. first, i didn't think it was a big deal. it lasted so long, and then another quake came back even stronger just a few minutes after. that's when we knew that it
1:07 am
was serious. >> greta: what did you do? you get off the train, then what? >> we were struck between two stations. our train as well as every other train in japan was stopped. everybody had to carry their luggage out of the train, lug it down the tracks to the next station. we were just waiting around in the station and that's when i saw the large gas refinery explosion that was pretty close by where our train had stopped. we saw a huge, big -- huge explosion lit up the sky. it had already started to get dark. that's when everybody realized they better get to some sort of shelter. people started walking around looking for hotels. some people went to a nearby school to find shelter. >> greta: what did you think was going on?
1:08 am
at what point realize it wasn't a train crash i was a quake? the explosive fire i imagine that was -- confusing. >> it took a few minutes after the initial impact. it had been in several quakes here. we even had a large one wednesday. i never been in one on the train. the thing that made me sure what was happening was when i looked around and realized that everyone on the train was standing up and asking about what was happening. it wasn't something that i had just felt. it was everybody on the train felt it and knew something was wrong. >> greta: why did it take you 24 hours to get home? >> all of the trains were shutdown until late last night. late last night they were able to complete the safety inspections and start opening some of the subways. the train i was on was closer to the epicenter than the center of the city, so it took
1:09 am
a long time to get that ready. 8:30 this morning they started running trains back into the city. there were still millions stranded and every train station had a line to get on the train. >> greta: i know where you are headed why don't you tell the viewers why you were going to the airport. where were you headed? >> to my friend's bachelorette party in have a -- party in vegas. >> greta: are you going to make it? >> i don't think so. at this point, i don't want to be stuck on another train if it happens again. we've had aftershocks consistently since the quake yesterday. i'm happy just staying in my apartment for the rest of the weekend. >> greta: i think you have a good excuse for not making it. thank you maya.
1:10 am
>> thank you. >> greta: smack in the miding of teaching a class when the lights fall from the ceiling and the room starts shaking violently. that's what our next guest experienced. james haouls an american teaching english in -- james hughes, an american teaching english in japan. the lights start shaking give me more information about when this quake hit? >> i was teaching a class with adult lady and we started getting small shakes. i thought it was funny. i was playing along with it. suddenly it was really violent. co-workers started running out of room. i just got up and followed. we got to a hallway and it started shaking violently. the walls were shaking and situation. >> greta: is there structural damage in your area? is the power down?
1:11 am
are there any fires? >> when i left half the city's power was out. there were some cracks in the asphalt, sewage coming up the street. i was able to get home this morning. i saw a big fire from the highway. [ unintelligible ] >> greta: what is your plan? are you going to stay and teach? are you going back to the states? what is your plan at this point? >> man, i was thinking i was going to stay here for two years come heck or high water. looks like the high water came. so i gotta reconsider. i got a pretty girlfriend out here, so i can't just pack up and leave. >> greta: it looks absolutely frightening. the video, when we see this
1:12 am
video what is going on. i can't imagine living through this how far are you? you are not close to the epicenter, are you? >> i think it was about an hour away >> greta: how long did the shaking seem to last? >> to me it felt like four minutes. it felt like forever started rumbling. >> greta: do you have regular services? are people able to shop, drive, power that kind of thing in your community? >> i got back to my apartment about 5 this morning in my area everything looks to be okay. the city i was teaching in last night, all the stores are shutdown. 7-elevens open. all the trains, services, taxi cabs, everything was down, no power most of the city. >> greta: james, thank you.
1:13 am
>> thank you. >> greta: straight ahead. graphic scenes of destruction and terror are ceasing japan. it was a deadly quake followed by a massive tsunami. is there a third punch coming? we have an earthquake expert here. >> wisconsin governor walker is here. he signed the new bill into law today. ending sort of a three week standoff. the democrats they are back on attack. they've already made their first move. governor walker is here, stay tuned. úú:moñ[5@ñmw announcer: naturals from purina cat chow. delicious, real ingredients with no artificial flavors or preservatives.

>> greta: it is 12:15 in the afternoon saturday in japan. hell has descended upon japan many people and businesses swallowed by rivers of walls and water. right now japan risks problems with a nuclear reactor. it is leaking horrifying question is another quake coming soon? steve i go a physicist with the u.s. >> logical survey joins us on the phone. steve, any way to predict or know whether another quake is coming? a short time ago there's a 6.1 magnitude that struck in the south pacific in the nation of tonga. can these be predicted? >> no. but they can be forecast in a sense. we know that there will be big aftershocks associated with this magnitude 9 quake that
1:17 am
occurred last evening. >> greta: i may be the only one in the united states who knows this. what is the difference between a quake and aftershock? >> an aftershock is something that follows a large main shock in the same geographic vicinity. these are a consequence of the earthquake volting that created the original main shock as they reflect the stressors. >> greta: in the last couple of hours there was a report that japan endured another earthquake. was it more appropriately described as an aftershock? >> probably. i don't know where this earthquake occurred. that part of japan is seismicly active. we've recorded more than 100
1:18 am
aftershocks of magnitudes greater than 5 by the u.s. geological sur our remote -- >> greta: can an aftershock be as damaging as a quake? >> absolutely. in fact, if structures are weakened by the main shock, it may be prone to additional damage during aftershocks. >> greta: are aftershocks measured like quakes? >> yeah, same magnitude scale. generally, the aftershocks are smaller magnitude than they decay in number and general size with time. regular process that we know about for thousands of quakes -- [ inaudible ] >> greta: why does this
1:19 am
happen? just a geological event or did something provoke it? >> associated with plate tectonic motion. the plates on the surface of the earth -- [ unintelligible ] they produce at the edges where they move against each other. in the case of japan the sea floor the plate is -- [ unintelligible ] >> greta: terrible situation. thank you steve. >> coming up, nuclear meltdown is the fear now after two nuclear power plans cooling systems have failed. thousands are told to run for
1:20 am
their safety. how dangerous is this situation? we have a live report, next. >> also, wisconsin governor walker is here. he signed that bill today. now there is a new problem for the governor. he goes on the record, coming upup ahh, fresh. feeling fresh enough to last through my parent's cocktail party? that's where we're going? ♪ [ female announcer ] feel fresh up to five times longer with scope outlast. still feeling fresh? oh yeah.

1:23 am
>> greta: this is a fox news alert. japan is rushing to prevent a nuclear meltdown. that quake is threatening to cause a possible nuclear meltdown at a power plant located northeast of tokyo. the quake caused the power plant's cooling system to mall function causing radiation levels to skyrocket to 1,000 times above normal many the plan is in a state of emergency. five reactors within two plans have been declared a state of emergency. thousands have been told to evacuate. joining us is physicist who examined a japanese plant that spilled radioactive material after a quake in 2007. he's associated in the nuclear policy program at the carnegie endowment. nice to see you. how serious is this? >> well, any time you have a release of radiation into the environment, it is serious. if this accident doesn't get any worse, then there's not
1:24 am
likely to be significant damage to people or the environment. if however they can't get the cooling system up and running then you covey significant release of radiation. we could -- and then we could have a major nuclear accident. >> greta: it didn't cool down like it should. then there was a redundancy, back-up cooling system has failed. what is next to try to cool this down? >> well, part of the issue is, we don't necessarily know what the problem is right now. >> greta: they donor we don't? >> we don't. i'm hoping they know. when the quake hit the reactor initially did what it ought to do. scrapped, which mean it shut itself down. there's a large amount of radioactivity in the core that still produces a lot of heat even after the reactor has been shutdown. you need to be cooling that.
1:25 am
to drive the pumps, you need electricity. firstly because of the quake the external powerlines got knocked out. then the onsite diesel generators for reasons we don't understand stopped working. very bad sign. that only left the batteries onsite we are not sure how many batteries there are and what the state of them is. if the problem is only a lack of power, they have to get some form of power back into the plan to drive the pumps to cool it down. >> greta: if those batteries aren't working, then what? >> if they can't restore power or if there is damage to the cooling systems, we don't know what the problem is. then the temperature in the reactor is going to tart to rise. eventually, -- to start to rise. eventually the metal out bits of the fuel are going to start to smelt melt that will expose the fuel pellets to the water inside the reactor.
1:26 am
when that happens the water that gets turned into steam that that is being vented into the environment. rather than being slightly radioactive could become highly radioactive that which is the worst-case scenario, we are not there yet, there's a range of possible outcomes to this crisis. >> greta: you use the term eventually is the time on this? >> it could be anywhere from hours to days. there's a lot of unknowns. we don't know what the problem is, what the state of the core is at the moment. it is hard to put a specific time on this. this could be from hours to days. in the case of the three mile island accident, the crisis unfolded over the course of two or three days. the causes of the accident of three mile island and the fukushima accident are different. but the result which is a problem of trying to cool the core is relatively similar. >> greta: you said the website was being updated talking about -- you told me they stop
1:27 am
updating the website. i'm not a conspiracy person. i'm curious why they are not updating the status on the repair? >> we don't know. the most likely explanation is the company is trying to deal with a reactor accident. and the people who are running the company think they have bigger priorities than updating the website. >> greta: i hope that's the reason. >> it is part of what makes this so hard to comment tate on there is so much we don't know. i think -- i think the bottom line is, if they stabilize the reactor and there is a slightly radioactive steam beam left out there is not going to be much damage. if there's a reactor melt we we have one of the two or most serious nuclear accidents in history on our hands. >> greta: james, thank you. japan is racing against the clock trying to cool down a nuclear reactor. people are terrified,

federal mediator, the sides couldn't agree on a new deal. early on friday, when it was clear that the talks had broken down, the union dissolved and announced it would no longer represent the players in collective bargaining. back to "on the record." for the latest headlines, go to foxnews.com. >> greta: he won. today he won twice. first governor -- governor walker signs the controversial labor bill he fought for. he dodges a temporary restraining order. since after he signed the bill an emergency lawsuit was filed against the secretary of state, senate majority leader and speaker of the assembly speaking to stop publication of the law. this distribute does not appear to be over. governor walker joins us. good evening. >> good to be with he. >> greta: explain this publication. you've instructed the
1:42 am
secretary of state to publish this law on monday. is he going to do it >> that means to be seen. it is a common procedure. by law he's up to 10 working days to publish this law that i signed into law today. and that he signed. it just has to be published. he has not made it clear whether he will do it money or wait the full 10 days. bottom line it was signed into law and it now has become the law of the state of wisconsin. >> greta: any suggestion that he won't publish it within 10 days or he will never publish it that he will pocket veto it or sit on it? any possibility that could happen. he's a democrat, you're a republican. >> he cannot. the most he can do is publication for the full 10 working days. largely ceremonial condition.
1:43 am
what effectively made it law was me signing it this morning at about 9:30 central time this is the formality of going through with publishing this. it is not something he has a choice in doing it is required by law. the question is does he do it monday or wait the full 10 days? >> greta: wednesday there will be a hearing whether the procedure was constitutional or not and a judge will decide that. >> it is very clear to me that it is. the bottom line is senate keefe clerk which has worked for democrats and republicans, someone well respected by both parties, clearly told the senate that what they did was legal and proper and for people complaining about the procedure this measure has been there for a month. for three weeks democrats have been out of the state. the only reason they didn't have a chance to vote on it and the people they represent was left out in the cold was
1:44 am
because they chose not to do their job. >> greta: the 1500 people who were targeted for possible lay-offs, are -- they are safe they are not going to the get the pink slips now? based on this event. >> right. they are absolutely safe this morning. as i was preparing to sign the bill we put out notice to the unions those 1500 jobs are no longer at risk for lay-offs. what we did with this budget reform was protect middle class jobs and middle class taxpayers. that's what this is about. at the same time we are going to make our government work better. when mitch daniels did this six years ago in indian nat state become more effective, more efficient and it was better for not -- not only the taxpayers in terms of cost it was better in terms of the people who wanted good services and the workers. they are the people who
1:45 am
benefit the most. >> greta: i realize you are in charge of wisconsin. is this a bigger political issue that you think will become part of the dialogue in 2012? >> i don't know about the next election. i think it will be part of the dialogue across the country in the next year or two. nearly every state in this country faces a major deficit. the federal government bigger than any us. my hope is leaders will see across the country you can do what you say you were going to do, stand up, make tough decisions and make a commitment so our children don't face more dire consequences. that's what this is about. we led the nation in the 90s under tommy thompson we it came to welfare reform. we can lead in fiscal and budget reform. >> greta: the democrats are pretty mad at you, aren't they? >> you know for eight years
1:46 am
before this i was a local official, county executive in milwaukee county, a county that has never elected a republican before, yet i was elected three times. we identified our problems, solutions and did what so many failed to do, we delivered. what i think now more than ever what people want who are leaders who stand up tell the truth, provide leadership and get the job done. that's what i've done and those courageous leaders in the state assembly and senate did, including one independent who said is enough is enough. it is time to tart balancing our budget while we can protect middle class jobs and property taxpayers that's what we are doing. the democrats, the liberal ones don't want that everyday we go forward from this point on they will see this was the right thing to do. >> greta: governor, thank you. i think it is not totally over. thank you governor.
